JM, I just read (several times) your poem “How Death Holds Form, A Beholding” in Glass (July 2017). Stunning. Thank you for this glimpse of absolute stunning brilliance. Yes, yes, I think t myself, this is what I aspire to. As Billy Collins wrote in one of his poems (I don’t remember the title), and I paraphrase here, if a poet writes 3 perfect poems in a lifetime, that’s a true achievement. Well, in this one poem you have written it. Deepest gratitude. Nancy
